Attention all Sanborn Central Community Members:
The SC Board of Education and District Administration would like to invite any

potential upgrades to the football field complex in order to host two varsity
football games a year, beginning in the 2018-2019 school year. The upgrades
could include some combination of the following items: the purchase of and
instillation of appropriate and adequate seating (for 500 spectators) and a
large press box/concession stand/bathrooms at the field (currently there are
limited concessions and portapots at the field (spectators can go into the school
for concessions and use the bathrooms). The Board would like input on this
potential project from the community members in order to make any decisions
that would best fit the district as a whole. If any community member has an
opinion, one way or the other, or has some thoughts and or ideas to express,
